Unfortunately the crowd was very disappointing. Not a lot of people and not a lot of noise until the last minute. As usual the opposing fan base makes a meaningful presence. It’s like being at a hawks game.
I concur. Disappointed that more GT fannies weren't in the seats. This team is fun to watch and pretty doggone good.
Will echo the disappointment in the turnout. I know it was a 7PM game, week night, traffic, below 60 degrees, blah blah. Use your tickets, go to the games, and support the team.There was a point in tv when the PA guy said “Let’s go Tech”
*nothing*
“LOUDER”
*mumbles*
I think the BG teams played hard. I never faulted their desire to win or their efforts to find a way. The talent differential and coaching expertise gap were too great to overcome.
Agree on style - it's not flashy by any means. Also agree that it will change as early as Okogie's return this year. We just don't have a ton of scoring options, so we need to rely on things developing via offensive sets. Additionally, there aren't many guys that can push the ball up the floor outside of Jose, and on top of that, very few who can finish strong at the rim. This kind of forces us into our current style of play.
They showed up better than the non students...but they still did not fill their section. They were however, the only enthusiastic group in the building. I was very disappointed in how many people wearing GT gear around me sat on their hands the entire game. They did not rise for the Bud Song, did not jump up and cheer hardly ever.....I just don't get it personally (and I am an old fart).
Guess I cam across as critical of the students when I did not mean to be. They produced about 90% of the energy in the building last night, imho. I was being critical of the other old farts around me, and used the Bud song as one example, but there just wasn't the energy out of that group ("us") that there should have been. Just my opinion.
